Ohio Wesleyan 4, Lincoln Memorial 0

Sophomore forward Olivia Danley (Del Rio, Texas/Independence, (Va.)) scored Ohio Wesleyan's first 2 goals to start the Bishops on their way to a non-conference win over Division II entity Lincoln Memorial on Thursday at Selby Stadium.

The win was Ohio Wesleyan's seventh in a row to start the season, tying the school record set by the 1974 team.

The Bishops and Railsplitters battled through most of the first quarter with but 3 shots between the teams, but that changed during the final seconds of the period.  Sophomore midfielder Alyssa Markell (Leesburg, Va./Loudoun County) injected the ball on a penalty corner to freshman midfielder Grace Ammon (Southborough, Mass./Algonquin Regional), who found Danley in front for the goal with :19 remaining.

Danley made it 2-0 early in the third quarter after a penalty corner.  Sophomore midfielder Avery Slucher (Louisville, Ky./Christian Academy of Louisville) had a shot blocked, and a follow shot by Danley was stopped by Railsplitter defender Guadaloupe Montaldo.  The rebound angled toward the left post and went into the cage at the 12:23 mark.

Shortly thereafter, senior forward Allie Crawford (West Hartford, Conn./Hall) found the back of the cage, with Markell credited with an assist on the play.

Sophomore forward Emma Wright (Marlton, N.J./Cherokee) added a goal later in the quarter, knocking home the rebound of a save by LMU keeper Ana Carney.  Ohio Wesleyan's 3 third-quarter goals tied the school record set against Oberlin on Sept. 8, 2021, and tied against Oberlin on Sept. 1, 2022 and at Earlham on Oct. 29, 2022.

Ohio Wesleyan outshot Lincoln Memorial, 22-7.  Junior Brynn Schlesinger (Arnold, Md./Broadneck) had 1 save during the first half and junior Meg McCarthy (Trumbull, Conn.) recorded 4 saves during the second half to combine on the shutout.
